Best moisturizer for a rinse-off product.

I'm a novice formulator who really wants to formulate my own products for personal use and as a hobby. I know I can just find products I like, but I would like to learn.

I'm trying to find the best moisturizer for a rinse-off product. A moisturizer that can be deposited via surfactant foam onto skin. Currently, I'm looking at Amodimethicone, Dimethicone

OR Petrolatum via a polymer. I can't find much information on how to make petrolatum more effectively stick in a surfactant system. I know their is a patent for it, but I'm not sure where to obtain this product. Perhaps with a polymer such as cationic guar or HydroxyEthylCellulose? I also don't want to break a patent if I ever decide to sell the product on a small-scale basis.

I know your busy, so any information or redirects to information would be much appreciated. Thanks so much for ANY advice.

Hi MG. If you're looking for formulation advice you'd be better off checking out the Forum at our site site, www.chemistscorner.com. The audience there is composed of mostly formulators and I expect you'd find someone who could help.
